Seismicity is the tremor felt near areas of active volcanoes
Seismicity is measured with the use of seismometer
The study of ground deformation This is one of the traditional methods used by people living near volcanoes. People
considered that changes in the surface of volcano
Monitorgases that come out of fumaroles The most noticeable sign of impending volcanic eruption is the emission of gases from
its fumaroles
Observing the visible changes to fumarole areas According to volcanologists, a volcano which has the potential erupt is observed to have
changes in the size of smoke or magma volatiles in the atmosphere
Satellite based monitoring This is done through obtaining thermal images of volcanic areas
Landslide refer to the untoward movement of slope.
block slide
is a translational slide in which the moving mass consists of a single unit or a few closely related units that move downslope as a relatively coherent mass
Rotational slide This is a slide in which
the surface of rupture
is curved concavely
upward
Translational slide In this type of slide, the landslide mass moves along a roughly planar surface with
little rotation or backward tilting
debris flow is a form of rapid mass movement in which a combination of loose soil, rock, organic matter, air, and water mobilize as a slurry that flows downslope.
Falls
are abrupt movements of masses of geologic materials, such as rocks and boulders that become detached from steep slopes or cliffs
Toppling failures
are distinguished by the forward rotation of a unit or units about some pivotal point, below or low in the unit, under the actions of gravity and forces
exerted by adjacent units or by fluids in cracks
Debris avalanche This is a variety of very rapid to extremely rapid debris flow
Earthflows
have a characteristic "hourglass" shape.
Creep is the imperceptibly slow, steady, downward movement of slope-forming soil or rock.
Lateralspreads
are distinctive because they usually occur on very gentle slopes or flat terrain.
Blue holes —from the deep color of underwater sinkhole in the Bahamas
Blackholes —a term used to describe the sinkhole in Bahamas
Cenotes —the sinkholes found in the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize and some other regions
Tiankengs —refers to huge sinkholes
Tomo – in New Zealand, this is a term used to describe pot holes.
The word “typhoon: came from the word “tai Feng’ which means “Great or Big Wind.”
“hurricane” is the name given to these storms in the Atlantic Ocean and
Eastern Pacific
“Tropical Cyclones” is the name given by
countries near the Indian Ocean.
Flash flood -also known as rapid flooding
It is a kind of coastal flooding which is associated with typhoon
Storm Surge
The water level in the sea during a storm is called storm tide.
La Nińa incidents is associated by the changes of weather patterns due to the cooling of water temperatures across the east-central Equatorial Pacific.
El Nińo is a natural phenomenon which is characterized by the weakening of trade winds which may be blowing in the opposite direction from normal.
